Now that Nadine is 5, and a choosy little young lady who has a mind of her own with everything, especially her clothes, I can no longer buy new clothes for her without her around. She needs to be there, to approve as well as try the sizes of the clothes.
This year, in preparation of Chinese New Year, we brought her to OG People's Park to buy a "Chinese dress". So nostalgic to do CNY clothes shopping there! Reminded me of my childhood days!
The reason we had to buy Nadine a "Chinese dress" was because the school celebrated CNY 2 days before CNY, and the children had to go to school in ethnic wear. I remembered Nadine was very reluctant to wear the Chinese dress we bought her last year, and insisted that she was English, not Chinese. This year, she's a lot more cooperative, and picked a nice pink dress herself.
I kept telling myself that I have to take more photos this CNY. Was very disciplined on Day 1, and promptly took a family photo before we headed out to Po-Po's house. But that's the only photo we took that day!
Day 2, our usual group of "swimmer friends" came over. For the last 3 years, the Gans and Chuas have been coming over on CNY to "swim" - the kids will go swimming in the pool, while the adults will enjoy our annual mahjong!
Here's us resting after a yummy lunch, before the swim. One particular uncle resting more than the rest!
More friends joined us for dinner. It was a great time of fellowship over good food and even better company!
